Semblant’s MobileShield delivers a proven, cost-effective solution to combat water damage and corrosion, the leading causes of mobile phone damage. With approximately 25% of smartphones being returned due to liquid and mechanical damage during use, repairing damaged smartphones costs the industry around $30 million per year.
MobileShield allows users to benefit from longer device life and the freedom to take their smartphones almost anywhere. For smartphone manufacturers, there are significant economic benefits; in addition to giving devices a first line of defense against common sources of damage, MobileShield coatings also enable repair at the component level. This substantially reduces device replacement expenditures for consumers, retailers and manufacturers alike.
